What does a statistician do? What does a statistician do? Oh, I can never balance my checking account.

I patiently explain that number crunching is best left to the accountants. And I’m terrible at balancing my checkbook as well. The truth is, statistics is less about the numbers themselves and more about the patterns those numbers represent.
